Gay earned his fourth career PGA Tour victory and first since capturing the
St. Jude Classic in 2009.

Scott Stallings entered Sunday with a five-stroke lead, but he made a
series of costly missteps during the final round. After playing bogey-free
over the first three days of the tournament, the 27-year-old dropped a shot on
three separate holes Sunday.

He missed a 2-foot par putt on No. 7, then bogeyed again on the 16th to fall
into a tie with Gay, Howell and rookie David Lingmerth at minus-25.

Still, Stallings appeared to be in control after finding the fairway off the
tee on the par-5 18th. Needing a birdie to win, he sent his approach into
the water left of the green and eventually stumbled to a bogey, which sent
Gay, Howell and Lingmerth to a playoff at 25-under 263.

Lingmerth was eliminated after he bogeyed the first extra hole, while Gay and
Howell parred to advance.

Playing the par-4 10th, Howell found the rough off the tee and sent his second
shot into a greenside bunker. Gay, meanwhile, placed his first squarely in the
fairway and dropped his approach within 10 feet. When Howell failed to get up-
and-down, Gay had two shots to win it, although he only needed one; sinking
the short birdie putt to finish in first.
